Players who are able to win the first round flip will be automatically in the money.
Sarne Lightman spoke to PokerNews on the new tournament option and stated that Flipout is an obvious time saver. Players will be in the money for a large tournament, which can be hard to do in regular game play. The average skilled player will be able to be on the money and enjoy tournament game play in a quicker time frame.
